Credits are only applied at the Directors’ discretion.
8. The customer is responsible for checking the customer portal for all invoices and scheduled payments. Invoices will be available in the portal before term commencement.
9. Once you have enrolled in a class, you are liable for the full-term fees even if you/your child no longer wishes to attend. Suppose extenuating circumstances out of your control require you to withdraw early from classes; a $85 cancellation fee may be applicable to remove the entire fee liability. In that case, however, it is up to the discretion of management if the $85 fee is to be applied, resulting in the entire fee liability being waived. Proof of circumstance may be required.

Any non-financial student before classes commence will not be permitted to enter the class due to insurance constraints.

Communication Policy
Email is the preferred contact method, as all communication records can be kept. Please direct all queries/requests relating to the below emails:
info@ambiancedance.com.au Administration or customer service-related queries Performance Team or exam queries, communication with teachers
accounts_@ambiancedance.com.au Account-related queries, including withdrawals
Clients must ensure ADC has the correct email address on file (this can be updated via the customer portal at any time) and that they check their spam folders to ensure our email addresses are accepted emails within their e-mail inbox. All correspondence from Ambiance Dance Company will be via email; please check your inbox regularly! Whilst email is ADC’s preferred method, should you have any questions or queries that require phone or face-to-face contact, please call the studio phone numbers (0419 927 270 or 9409 6868) or see reception during allocated reception/phone hours.
If you are communicating that your child is unwell, you can do this via the customer portal app or email so that the relevant teachers know beforehand. Please DO NOT post absences/sicknesses to the Members Only FB Page. These posts will not be approved as they clog the FB feed.
Please be mindful that our teachers are here to teach your children. While we are happy to answer your questions, teachers are unavailable during or between class times for any reason. Please DO NOT try to have a quick chat, as we do not wish to offend you when we are running between classes.
Please do not contact staff members via personal mobile phone or social media regarding studio-related questions. While we understand that you may have personal friendships with some staff, I implore you to consider if the requested information is essential to encroach on their non-working time. Staff have been asked to refer you to the appropriate communication methods, so please do not be offended when they respond in such a manner.
Meetings can be requested with the Studio Director via email. This will allow all required parties to book enough time to ensure your request is handled adequately. ADC administration email protocol responds within 48 hours; if you do not receive a reply, please resend/follow up, as it may have gone to junk mail. Please do not assume we received your correspondence if you do not get a reply; per protocol, ADC will always endeavour to reply within 48 hours.
Duty of Care
All care is taken, but no responsibility is accepted for accidents/injuries incurred in the studio, concerts/competitions, or other performances—students dance at their own risk.
Release and Waiver forms must be signed before enrolment can be accepted within the online enrolment. By accepting our terms and conditions, you accept the waiver.
Punctuality and Attendance
Please ensure that your child is punctual to all classes & dressed appropriately.
Constant lack of attendance, especially in Performance Team classes, stresses the rest of the team much. Performance team enrolled members must adhere to the performance team policy (refer to the PT contract)
Consequently, you may be asked to withdraw from class/es if constant absences are recorded.
Viewing Cameras
At ADC, we have a live feed (CCTV) of all classes on the TV in the waiting area. This will allow you peace of mind and the enjoyment of watching your child when you can remain in the foyer. The camera records to the hard drive and can be reviewed remotely by the Director even when not on site. This ensures management can always see what is happening in BOTH the classes and the foyer.
Please Note: The foyer TV will NOT be turned on in Terms 3 & 4 due to concert preparation, and the TV may be switched OFF any time during the year at the Director's request. Please DO NOT loiter around the TV. The cameras continuously record even if the TV is turned off, so management can always refer back to the footage.
Carpark
We ask you to park only on the bitumen verges around the studio for drop off and pick up during business hours; this includes Saturday mornings. Please do not park in the staff parking, the grassed verge roped off, or any other business (tenants) bays, as this causes problems within the strata. Please do not park on the corner; it is illegal and against all road rules. This action could result in the council ranger issuing you a fine.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR CHILD/CHILDREN OUTSIDE OF CLASS TIME. PLEASE ENCOURAGE THEM TO REMAIN INSIDE THE ADC PREMISES.

Please DO NOT buy outside dance attire before mandatory ADC uniforms are purchased for enrolled classes and team events. Please REMEMBER uniforms and appropriate ADC attire make ALL students feel part of the team and show the UNITY of OUR STUDIO.

Correct attire, including shoes, for each class and genre has been outlined for you in the Dance class attire table on the website. We do ask that all hair be tied back neatly and securely so that the hair is off the face and does not cause a distraction while in class.

End of Year Showcase Performance - ALL ADC students are required/involved.
Ambiance Dance Company produces an end-of-year showcase, which allows all ADC dancers to perform for their family and friends. It is an exciting, empowering and confidence-building experience for them and a chance to showcase their hard work.ADC cherishes involving all students and encourages even our youngest and newest performers to hit the stage.
Our Annual Showcase should be held within the last five weeks of Term 4. Confirmation of dates will be given at the end of Term 1. Detailed information about the Showcase will be provided closer to the time. A non-refundable concert levy of $60 per student will be invoiced and payable at the end of Term 2. If the invoice remains outstanding, you will not be included in the showcase, and costumes will not be provided. Once you have paid your levy, this will confirm your commitment to the concert. If you pull out, once you have committed, you will lose the concert levy and must pay costume costs and fees associated with the concert. We have personal dressmakers and also order ready-made costumes. Costume costs range from $70-$100 depending on age group and requirements. Senior costumes and some costumes (dependent on detail/custom-made) can go up to $150. We are mindful of keeping costume expenses as low as possible. However, we also wish to ensure all students are groomed impeccably and professionally.
For those families new to the dancing world of concerts, some parents start their own concert savings fund (online form Link) and put money aside each week. This makes paying for the costumes much easier, especially as the showcase is close to Christmas. Please email accounts_@ambiancedance.com.au if you wish to set this up on your account.
